Abstract
The differential muon-capture rate dGAMMA/dE/sub T/ is obtained for the reaction ..mu../sup -/+ /sup 6/Li..-->.. /sup 3/H+ /sup 3/ H+..nu../sub ..mu../ over the allowed range of E/sub T/, the tritium energy, for two assumptions concerning the behavior of F/sub A/, the axial current form factor, in the timelike region; analytic continuation from the spacelike region and mirror behavior, F/sub A/(q/sup 2/, timelike) = F/sub A/(q/sup 2/, spacelike). The values of dGAMMA/dE/sub T/ under these two assumptions are found to vary substantially in the timelike region as a function of the mass, M/sub A/, in the dipole fit to F/sub A/. Values of dGAMMA/dE/sub T/ are given for M/sub A/ /sup 2/ = 2m/sub ..pi../ /sup 2/, 4.95m/sub ..pi../ /sup 2/, and 8m/sub ..pi../ /sup 2/.
